<p>what are your plans for majors? any in particular? In addition, are you looking to continue playing football or track in college, competitive or non-competitive?</p>

3

<p>majors: economics, or psychology! as far as football and track non-competitive most likely</p>

<p>I’d perhaps suggest Pomona college in Claremont, CA; it is very selective like Stanford and has 1,545 undergrads, which may be more to your liking, except that it is a liberal arts college (if that’s what you are looking for). Or maybe one of the other claremont colleges would be to your liking; there is Harvey Mudd, that focuses most on math and engineering, or Claremont McKenna College, that is once again a liberal arts college. Cal tech also is pretty similar to stanford in some respects.</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna College is known for its depts in econ and psych. Check them out… It has a very athletic feel for a D3 school…</p>

<p>if your an All-American jeez you should be looking at d-1 lol</p>

<p>For finding schools wit a good econ or psych programs it shouldn’t be too hard, seeing as they are two of the most popular majors.</p>

<p>Your statistics are great! You will be accepted at Ivy League schools. For the California school, why not USC. If it’s too big, Occidental, Claremont-McKenna, and Pomona would be my next thoughts.</p>

<p>Pomona and Claremont Mckenna would work great for what you’re looking for. However, you would definitely be very competitive at all the ivies</p>
